Enhance Web Chat With Memory Inspection Panel #3
Description
Overview
The current web/chat.html focuses on the live conversation. Let’s give users a way to inspect stored memories directly in the UI so they can verify what HippocampAI has captured.
What to build
- API support
- Extend src/hippocampai/api/app.py with a GET /v1/memories endpoint that accepts query parameters (user_id, session_id, type, limit, etc.), delegates to MemoryClient.recall or an appropriate method, and returns a
JSON list of memories with metadata and score breakdown. - Add basic validation (e.g., require user_id), sensible defaults (limit=20), and error handling.
- Extend src/hippocampai/api/app.py with a GET /v1/memories endpoint that accepts query parameters (user_id, session_id, type, limit, etc.), delegates to MemoryClient.recall or an appropriate method, and returns a
- Frontend panel
- Update web/chat.html (and any supporting JS/CSS) to include a sidebar or modal showing returned memories.
- Provide filters:
- Freeform input for user_id.
- Optional dropdowns for session_id (populate by hitting a sessions endpoint if available, or just freeform text for now) and type (fact, preference, goal, event, habit, context).
- Numeric input for limit.
- Display results in a scrollable list/table showing memory text, type, importance, last updated, and score breakdown (sim/rerank/recency/importance).
- Add a “Refresh” button that re-queries the API with current filters; consider auto-refresh after sending a chat message.
- Documentation
- Update README.md or docs/CHAT_INTEGRATION.md to mention the new memory inspector and how to use it.
- Include screenshots/gifs (optional but welcome).
- Testing & polish
- Handle loading/error states in the UI.
- Ensure the page remains responsive on mobile.
- Avoid breaking existing chat functionality.
